Welcome
This is a tutorial on how to get the STEM source code downloaded, compiled, and running in your Eclipse Development Environment. This tutorial is mainly for committers and advanced users that want to work with the STEM source directly.
Getting Started
STEM is a Java application built on top of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP). To build and run the STEM, a developer must install a supported Java Development Kit (JDK) and the Eclipse SDK. While it may be possible to compile STEM in another IDE, we strongly recommend you use the Eclipse SDK.
Pre-requisites
To download and compile the STEM source, developers should first install the following components:
- A workstation that runs an operating system supported by the Eclipse Platform, including Windows (XP, Vista, 7), Linux (GTK), or Mac OS X.
- A supported Java 6.0 JDK from either Oracle or IBM. Mac OS X users can use the version included with the operating system.
- Note: The GNU for Java (GCJ) compiler and libraries are not supported. If you're running on Linux, we strongly recommend you use an Oracle or IBM compiler
- Eclipse Classic SDK 3.7 (Indigo)
